Question

find the three consecutive numbers such that the sum of twice is the greatest number and thrice the least number is 584

Answer 1

let the consecutive numbers are x, x+1,x+2.
Atq. 2(x+2) + 3(x) = 584
= 2x+4 + 3x = 584
= 5x+4 = 584
= 5x = 584-4
= 5x = 580
= x = 580/5
= x = 116
therefore the numbers are x = 116
x+1 = 117
and x+2 = 118.

Answer 2

Hello mate

Here is your answer,

Let the three consecutive numbers be x, x+1 and x+2 respectively.

2(x+2) + 3(x) = 584

2x + 4 + 3x = 584

5x = 580

x = 580/5

x = 116

x+1 = 117

x+2 = 118
